This is a short film of Diogo Brazão which focuses on the duality of space almost frozen in time, as opposed to the world passing by, always on the move, always changing.
How did arose the idea for this film? I realized that it's about your father.
Diogo Brazão: Yes, the idea came for the discipline in ESAD (Superior School of Arte and Design) and as I had a free theme I chose the life of my father, who I knew through family that he had ambitions and wanted to be someone else. Not like I knew him like someone working in a grocery store, but had the dream of being a doctor.
He never told you about it?
DB: No, then I started to relate things, the space, all the feelings that is of being tied to a place against his will, having to ...
Be detain?
DB: Yes, as the title suggests. And from there it began the process of this work.
It is also a portrait of loneliness? Because in the film is clear that throughout the day your father is always alone.
DB: I created analogies also as a creative process, for example, I wanted to convey the isolation, the space itself almost covered him, overwhelmed him in contrast to the street, because the movement of the car is constant, there is the sound.
There is another issue that stands out is the fact that it is a traditional trade that this dying.
DB: Yes, there are few, but it's what he knows, it's his life.
What about the rest? We realized that it was a small space.
DB: Yes, I just filmed a small part because it was what I wanted to focus on, the window, the central space.
Your father never told you about his dreams?
DB: No, no.
It was difficult to address him about this project?
DB: No, it depends on the child and the parent relationship.
And when he first saw what was his reaction?
DB: There was not any kind of reaction, I was waiting for something, but no.
Were you disappointed with that?
DB: No, as I know my father, it was something natural.
And outside your family what they said in relation to your short film?
DB: They liked, but was more support.
